Posit Software, PBC

Posit Software, PBC (formerly RStudio PBC) supplies an integrated toolchain that supports the full data-science workflow for analysts, researchers, and educators who rely on the R and Python ecosystems. The portfolio begins with RStudio Desktop, the long-standing IDE that offers syntax-aware editing, package management, integrated help, and one-click publishing of Shiny dashboards, R Markdown reports, and Quarto manuscripts. Quarto itself extends this authorship model to multilingual notebooks, enabling the same document to weave together Python, R, Julia, and Observable JavaScript while rendering to HTML, PDF, Word, slides, or websites. Positron, the company’s next-generation IDE, re-imagines this experience around a modular language-server architecture, giving data scientists a lightweight yet extensible environment that interoperates seamlessly with Jupyter kernels, Quarto projects, and local or remote compute. Complementing these authoring tools, Air provides opinionated, deterministic formatting of R code and a language-server that feeds diagnostics and auto-completion into any LSP-compatible editor, while Ark delivers a fast, WASM-ready R kernel that can be embedded in JupyterLab, VS Code, or Positron itself. Finally, rig simplifies the once-tedious task of maintaining multiple R versions on Windows, macOS, or Linux, letting users install, remove, and switch releases from the command line without administrator rights. Together the suite covers statistical computing, reproducible reporting, interactive visualization, and environment management, making it straightforward for teams to adopt open-source data science at scale. All six applications are offered free of charge on get.nero.com, where winget-powered installers always fetch the newest builds and support unattended batch deployment.
